Pakistan has approved 100 scholarships for Bangladeshi students. Prime Minister of the country Shahbaz Sharif approved the decision to award this scholarship. On Wednesday (November 20), Pakistani media Sama TV reported this news.
According to the news, this decision has been taken in view of lifting the ban on Pakistani students in Bangladesh's Dhaka University. As a result, the opportunities for higher education in Pakistan have expanded for Bangladeshi students.
Sama TV also reported that the Pakistani High Commissioner in Dhaka is seriously monitoring the matter. After receiving official approval, Pakistani universities will add Bangladeshi universities to their own portals. Through this process the scholarship application process will start.
Diplomatic relations between Bangladesh and Pakistan are improving after the fall of Sheikh Hasina's government. Recently, cooperation between the two countries has started in various sectors.
Recently, a cargo ship directly arrived at Chittagong port from Karachi, Pakistan, which is an example of improving bilateral trade relations. Those concerned believe that this scholarship proposal can start a new chapter in strengthening educational and cultural relations between the two countries.
